BAY VILLAGE, Ohio -- A Bay Village man who police say threatened a neighbor with a gun after a road rage incident appeared in court Tuesday morning.

James Stiffey, 60, got became angry with a next-door neighbor when he saw him speeding down Knickerbocker Road in front of his house on Jan. 28, police said.

When the neighbor pulled into his driveway, he saw Stiffey pointing what appeared to be a gun at him from his front porch, police said. Stiffey told police that he pointed a remote control at his neighbor as if it were a gun to “scare him,” but a search of his house revealed several firearms.

He was arraigned on charges of aggravated menacing and disorderly conduct Tuesday in Rocky River Municipal Court. He has yet to enter a plea.
